1992 Mustang GT
This one here is special! This 1992 was brought to the TEAM at Auchey Restorations for a complete top to bottom restoration. This 92 GT was the customer’s first car and has been a part of his family since he was sixteen! The car had never left him but the thought had crossed his mind. With life, family, kids and job it get’s to a point where the car’s take a backseat. Thankfully this one he didn’t let go. So when it came time to decide on what to do with the car it was on the TEAM to bring this 92 GT back to life in more ways than one.
So with the starting point established a plan was set and the process was started. With the car originally being such a part big part of the customer’s life we didn’t want that to get lost in the build. So it was set to keep it original look and feel but add some late model drivability, reliability, and POWER but not lose the soul of the car.
With a lot of the mock up done and making thing’s work as the should an look like it was done that way from the factory it was time for body and paint.
With many hours, blood, sweat, tears, and a few choice words it was complete!
With all this work the entire TEAM put into this 92 GT the customer was truly blown away! We all know the saying good thing’s come to those who wait, this is that saying in a 1992 Mustang GT!

Here is a touch of the customer’s story about the car:
The car is my first, it may seem like every other Fox Body out there, but it has a special history for the family. My father found the car, put the down payment down and then handed me the keys and the payment book (Payment was $302/month, sort of perfect). It was “used” but basically brand new and certainly new to me and I fell in love. It was my daily driver through the 90s. I proposed to my wife in the car and drove my wife and soon to be son to the hospital in the car (his first ride had to be in a Mustang). I strapped the kids in and did burnouts for fun occasionally. However, over time, one small water leak compounded problems and without the money to fix it right, it slowly deteriorated. I was ready to let it go, it was sad to look at it. My wife, my mom, my kids said “No, save up, keep it, restore it eventually”.
Almost ten years go by and I’m talking to a friend who stopped by and said “I know a guy, when you’re ready let me know.” I was ready. I called Jared, explained the situation, he came down and looked at the car and said we can do this. The car was in good shape according to him (I thought he was crazy). No accidents, some rust but fixable, a great foundation. We met several times to talk about the vision. We toyed with stock or doing a Coyote swap. I loved the car as stock but the Coyote was tempting. After much debate, I said we could do the Coyote swap but with one caveat it had to look stock. I wanted it to the untrained eye to look like a true 1992 Mustang GT, no cowls, stock wheels, factor interior. He said got it, “We’ll make it look like Ford built a Fox Body today”. He picked the car up and off it went. A great decision with no regrets and it’s the only possession I have called out in the Last Will.
With that said, we are here at Auchey Restorations to bring your Vehicle like this 92 Mustang GT to the level of your dreams!
